| The Investment | |

*This is the minimum price and could be more depending on boutique size & location. Note this does not include working capital
If you are planning to obtain financing, you will need a minimum of $50,000 in cash or liquid assets in addition to the collateral to apply against the remainder of a loan. Although Apricot Lane Boutique does not provide in-house financing, we can refer you to one of our preferred lenders.
Most franchise candidates find they can fund their business by accessing capital they already have available through the equity in their home or by accessing qualifying retirement plans such as a 401k without incurring penalties or experiencing tax consequences. Financing options may also include third party (family, friends, existing business partners) or traditional bank loans.
